Its illegal in every state in the US to make tea from Opiate Poppies. They are, however legal to grow, sell/trade, and possess for decorative purposes. The seeds are also legal to possess for culinary purposes.
I'm new here as well, welcome to the site! Hope you used the Introduction forum? I recommend looking at the "Poppy Pod Tea Super Thread" There are plenty of threads on this forum, and all over the internet discussing various ways of making this tea.
You failed to tell us current tollerance/dependance to opiates. We cannot recommend a dosage due to varying amounts of active alkaloid content in each pod. However, most agree that you should start small if you are opiate naive. Try two pods and see how that makes you feel before upping dosage.
The most common method that I've seen, and know to work, is by bringing two cups of water to a boil. Grind your two-three pods in a coffee grinder, and put them into a bowl. Pour the boiling water over the pods and let sit 20 min.
Filter with wire mesh strainer, tea shirt, nylon, or sock. Add honey/sugar/milk to your taste preference. Drink half of the tea, wait 30min to one hour before drinking the other half. It does take a while to kick in.
Don't start using opiates if you don't already. They're very addictive man. I really want to hear how everything goes for you after you've tried the tea. Please post your report back here, or PM me after you've read this so we can keep in touch. Don't over do it, and stay safe. Even though I've given you most of the information you need, I still recommend looking up as much as possible. This is no joke, you can easily become sick from the tea. You can easily take too much tea.
Don't start if your off of opiates already.

Sorry, halfway through my post I forgot you asked about seed tea and gave preparation for pod tea. Seed tea is really too much trouble, and costs more. Please don't be shy and tell me about your experience. Be safe.

hmmm...
in me experience anything over 60 degrees celcius (158) will kill some of the alki's in pod tea. just let it steap for about twenty minets. you can also keep the temp at 158 for about two hours, strain through silk or any good filter. if you can filter well enough you can then reduce and dry it. you must filter it well though. if you cant get it to a completely clear liquid, no clouds; just skull the shit. otherwise you can smoke snort or ingest once completely evaporated. oh right, also after the 2 hours you can also bring the ph down to 6.5 to activate some of the lower level alki's and activate some that may be dormant. a ratio of 10g straw to 100ml water is preferable for absorption.
another great way, the most efficient found imo, is to just grind in coffee grinder till very, very fine powder, mix w/ grapefruit juice, sit 30 min., drink. the finer the powder the less nastiness. be very careful though, this method seems much stronger than the tea. i would recommend 5-7g's if no tolerance.

You don't need to let it steep for 20 minutes.
The best coffee makers get the water to the perfect temperature, and then force it through the grounds to make the coffee as quickly as possible. This is because, of all the oils in coffee beans, only the first little percent of them actually taste good. If the water steeps the grounds for too long it starts extracting flavor oils that taste like Waffle House coffee.
Poppy seeds are even worse. There is nothing INSIDE the seed that gets you high. When the poppies are fresh, the pods are filled with opium latex, and the seeds are floating inside that. When the pod is dried or the seeds extracted, some of that opium latex dries on the outside of the seed. The only thing you are trying to do is dissolve the bits of opium latex that are still left on the outside of the seeds. Since opiates dissolve readily in water, you can do this by throwing all your seeds in a two liter bottle, filling it with warm tap water, and just shaking the shit out of it for a minute or two. Letting seeds steep in hot water is going to get you a liquid that tastes even more like asshole for no good reason, since there are no active alkaloids inside the seeds.

Now I wouldn't say I have a super huge tolerance to opiate (40-50mg OC)...
Would you still recommend the whole 3pods and split it in half routine....also I don't have the pods...but I assume they are prtty easy to come by if I look...is there a certain type of pod I need to find?
I dunno if that makes sense

Seed tea works
I'm in south Texas, and a very large chain of grocery stores dominate here. Some of said stores have a bulk food section. They sell poppys seeds for $7 a lb.
About a week ago, I tried making some tea. I bought a little less than a pound for about $6, went home, used an empty milk carton and added about two cups of water. Not hot water, just room temp, shook it up for about two minutes, and filtered out the seeds.
What remained was a light brown mixture. I've heard it can taste pretty bad, but my experience was different. The tea only had a mild taste that was not all that bad compared to kratom. So I chugged it down.
After about twenty min, I began to feel a slight sedation. About Thirty min, I felt relaxation of a definite opiate high. I've used morphine pills before aswell as Narcos aka Vicodin. The high I got was very similar to morphine. Pupils were constricted, had trouble peeing and a great euphoria.
The high lasted almost 4 hours, and even in to the next day. I did this all late in the night so there was trouble sleeping.
I share this because I see most people knocking seed tea. I've tried pod tea, and I prefer seed tea. It should be said that I've tried seeds from a small India store using same method and amount but felt nothing.
So if anyone is interested in seed tea, I recommend looking for a bulk food store that sells seeds. Avoid name brands. and also I see recipies for seed tea calling for hot water or even boiling and letting sit for a given period of time. MY experience is to use cold water and shake for only a few minutes. Poppy seeds can go rancid fast, I've also heard the seeds will soak up all the good stuff if left to sit too long.
As I'm writing this, I'm buzzing hardcore of some seed tea....
